Even when people act safely and avoid dangerous situations, they can be injured in accidents. These injuries can be devastating, leading to financial losses that can cause difficulties for a family, ongoing health issues and disabilities, and ongoing problems that may affect the life of a victim as they cope with severe pain and emotional trauma. When an injury has been caused by negligence, a victim will need to understand their legal options for recovering financial compensation that will address their losses and damages.

The lawyers at Newland & Newland, LLP work with clients in Naperville who have been hurt due to the negligence, carelessness, or intentional actions of drivers, property owners, or others. We believe in helping our clients address the harm they have suffered due to injuries, and we will fight to obtain compensation for all of the damages that have occurred in these situations. We work to secure compensation for medical expenses, the loss of wages during a victim's recovery, impairments to their ability to earn an income in the future, pain and suffering, and any other damages that have occurred.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

People in the Naperville area may be involved in multiple types of motor vehicle collisions. Because collisions are typically caused by driver negligence, our attorneys will work to ensure that our clients can address the harm caused by other people who failed to drive safely. We can address accidents such as:

• Car Accidents: Rear-end collisions may be caused by drivers who violate speed limits, tailgate, or commit other traffic violations. Intersection crashes can occur when drivers run red lights or stop signs. Other collisions may be caused by distracted driving, drunk driving, or other forms of negligence.
• Truck Accidents: Because commercial trucks are so much larger than passenger vehicles, these accidents can lead to devastating injuries. We know how to identify the parties who were responsible for 18-wheeler accidents, and we can address issues such as driver fatigue, mechanical failures, or overloaded trucks.
• Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcycle riders have little protection in a crash, and they are more likely to suffer serious injuries. We work with motorcyclists to recover compensation from negligent drivers who were responsible for causing accidents.
• Pedestrian Accidents: Drivers who fail to yield at crosswalks or who are distracted while turning can strike pedestrians. These collisions can lead to devastating injuries, and we can provide the representation needed to ensure that negligent drivers will be held responsible.
• Bicycle Accidents: Cyclists who use the roads alongside larger vehicles may be injured by drivers who act negligently. Accidents may be caused by when drivers pass too closely to bicycles, open their car doors into bike lanes, or fail to check for cyclists before turning.
• Bus Accidents: Public transit buses or school buses may collide with other vehicles, and bus passengers, pedestrians, or other drivers and passengers may suffer serious injuries. We can help ensure that government entities or private bus companies will be held responsible for bus accidents caused by their negligence.

Defective Products

Companies that manufacture and sell products are required to make sure their products are safe when they are used as intended. A product that has been defectively designed or manufactured may be dangerous, and it may malfunction and cause injuries. People may also be injured because they were not provided with instructions or warnings to ensure that products could be used safely. Defective products may include faulty vehicle parts, dangerous household appliances, defective children's products, and pharmaceutical drugs or medical devices with undisclosed risks.

Our lawyers will work to identify every party in the chain of distribution who may share responsibility for a defective product. We will work with clients to address injuries that have been caused by the negligence of manufacturers, parts suppliers, or retailers. By showing that a product was unreasonably dangerous and caused a person to suffer an injury, we can help ensure that a victim will be able to recover compensation.

Premises Liability

Property owners and businesses are required to ensure that their premises are safe when people visit or use their property. When injuries occur because of hazardous conditions on a property, a victim may take steps to recover compensation through a premises liability claim. Slip and fall accidents can occur at malls, grocery stores, restaurants, or in other locations, and property owners may be held liable for their failure to address hazards such as wet floors, uneven sidewalks, potholes in parking lots, poor lighting, or other forms of negligence.

Premises liability cases may also address injuries caused by negligent security, failure to ensure that swimming pools are safe, or other issues that affected people who were visiting someone else's property. Our attorneys can gather evidence such as security camera footage, maintenance logs, and incident reports as we work to hold property owners liable for their failure to address hazards and protect people's safety.
